Saint-Gobain NorPro has decades of experience in developing solutions to meet the technological challenges faced by environmental abatement industries.  Saint-Gobain NorPro’s Process Ceramics group has developed and manufactured more heat transfer media than any other company in the world.  In fact, we were the first company to supply media, “Norton™ Proware™ saddles, for regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTO).  Since then, we have maintained the edge in supplying reliable, technically advanced products for heat transfer applications.

By combining our expertise in the two critical aspects of heat transfer media – shape and composition – Saint-Gobain NorPro optimizes overall RTO performance.  We provide a wide array of engineered materials and shapes for various RTO applications in both new construction of revamps, drawing on our applications knowledge, materials expertise and design capabilities, and collaborating closely with our clients to develop custom shapes and formulations for specific heat transfer requirements.

Shapes:  HexPak™ media is our premier heat transfer product.  The unique engineered shape of HexPak™ media provides superior thermal efficiency and reduced pressure drop compared to traditional saddles, which substantially lowers overall gas usage in the RTO and delivers significant savings in both electricity and gas costs. And, HexPak™ media can be substituted for saddles without modifying your existing unit or creating additional installation hassles.

Upgrading from saddles to HexPak™ media can deliver an ROI payback of less than a year thanks to its excellent thermal efficiency—and the payback rate improves as energy costs increase.

Materials:  Saint-Gobain NorPro stays ahead of the industry by supplying a broad range of novel ceramic materials that offer optimal performance over a wide range of temperatures and corrosive atmospheres.  Tailoring thermal shock/fatigue and corrosion resistance for specific applications provides the longest media life and unmatched value.  No other company offers a wider material selection than Saint-Gobain NorPro.

We can show you how to increase your bottom line by replacing your current ceramic media with more thermally efficient Saint-Gobain NorPro heat transfer media.  Only Saint-Gobain NorPro can offer you an in-depth analysis of your RTO process using our powerful proprietary simulation software, comparative studies of various heat transfer media, and cost comparisons to upgrade existing media with our state-of-the-art products.  We can work with you to simulate your operating conditions and determine which product and/or material works best for your RTO environment.

Saint-Gobain NorPro is uniquely positioned to meet all your ceramic heat transfer media requirements, whether your media needs are for new construction or retrofit projects.  We have what it takes to make the most effective use of your RTO unit and save you money to boot.
